Just how good is an eclipse?

Hi, Im considering buying a new 05 eclipse next year, I dont know how good
it is, the website doesnt really offer much detail about its specs. Im
gonna get the basic version, manual. No fancy stuff like more hp :P that
will come later :thumbs: .

Anyways could you plz give me some insite into how the car is, regarding
power, durability, safety, and shear coolness :)

This is your basic, GS model of the 2005 eclipse. It is an I4 instead of
the V6 in the GT and the GTS model. So, this means a single turbo would be
better than a twin the could be put into the more "high performance"
models. If you get tempted to take the craptronic tranny option, just slap
youself and get the manual.

in my personal opinion, id say, dont get a new eclipse... get a older
gsx... like a 95, with the non "thong" rear bumper... turbo AWD is a good
way to go... mmmm 4g63 sounds tasty

what he said my '96 is the best of the best for eclipses and if you stay
with the stock ground effects you get poor innocent people who think you
have an rs. plus a 96 gsx is cheaper and is has more horse power stock than
the '05 gts (which has a v-6) plus personaly i think the older body style
is better looking.

once again I agree with nektratta

I personally dont like the body style of the new eclipse.... If I had some
extra money to spend on another car I would def pick up a 97 gsx (my
favorite year just cuz of stupid little change on the rear... hahaha)

then again I would also like to own a supra... hahaha cuz we all know why!
